This is not really an AIBU as I already know I am, but posting here as I need a little straight talking!
I am trying to overcome my anxiety disorder and part of it is being alone at home.
As I work from home I obviously need to be able to stay at home without having major panic attacks! I have got so much better than I was, at one point I had to time my DP work and my DM work around me not being left alone for longer than an hour. (Lucky they were both part home workers and very flexible)
I know it was completely unreasonable of me and am trying so hard to not get back to that point again.
My trigger is basically being home alone and worrying I might pass out or collapse and nobody would be home to call an ambulance and I would die because I didn't get help in time.
So what I'm asking for is a kick up the bum/any advice/ pro active ideas to help/ any straight talking you can offer.
I have tried meditation but it made me feel worse as my anxiety is health related and anything that makes me feel different to normal triggers my anxiety and I can't work anywhere other than home as I need tools etc to do my job.
I am also getting married next year so now is the time to sort this once and for all!
